This is so great, and something that I can totally imagine happening between the two of them. I especially liked the way that you pulled in other parts of Claire's world and made it just as much a piece about where Claire's at as it is a really lovely look at the relationship forming between these two girls.
Plus ... it's blisteringly hot. Mmm hmm.

For someone who didn't like Gretchen a few weeks ago, I think I've come a long way. ;) Gretchen just took some time to grow on me, LOL. I even like Claire now, woo.
Your icon is adorable, btw.

This was just...amazingly hot. And a wonderful character study of Claire at the same time. I like the emphasis on her inability to feel, and the emptiness she's been feeling since Sylar attacked her. And how Gretchen has helped to heal that.
I especially loved:
It wasn’t nearly as embarrassing as Claire had imagined sometimes. Instead, the way Gretchen’s eyes followed the curves of her body just made her wet, made her more eager for Gretchen’s hands and lips and tongue. She felt beautiful - not like a freak - and like she was special.
I'm not sure why, but that really just struck a chord for me. It's so important for Claire to feel not like a freak, and it's nice to see her find some sense of belonging.
Clearly, I need to be upset more often if it helps to produce fic like this.

I'm so glad you liked it, since I wrote it for you LOL. I really liked that line as well so I'm psyched it resonated with you.

Perfect Claire voice, and I loved the sweet relationship between the two of them you explored. It was really tender and I loved the healing process, and I loved that she finally had someone to share with.
